I2SC Lecture Series (Recording): Pranav A (NLP & AI Ethics, University of Hamburg), Policy Impact: From AI Regulation to Academic Inclusion

Date: April 11, 2025

Abstract:

This talk examines how policies affect people across multiple domains. I analyze surveillance loopholes in the EU AI Act introduced by German regulators that potentially compromise civil liberties. The discussion then critiques academic name-change policies that create unnecessary barriers for transgender and queer scholars. Finally, I evaluate academic publishing frameworks that exclude underrepresented communities and propose practical reforms to create more equitable spaces. Throughout, I demonstrate how seemingly neutral policies can cause harm when developed without input from marginalized communities.
